294 Comments for Bobby Petrino laughter and Kentucky basketball returns (Wednesday Show Thread)
Is Petrino really coming back to Louisville? I honestly dont know what kind of emotion that would produce…I wouldnt be happy, mad, or upset… I guess you could say ‘dont care’ would have to be up there
Finally! A game tonight… It’s been awhile.
Note to people. Do not throw boiling water in to the air. It won’t work now. Just saying.
This is what happend to the 1080 tower yesterday: pic.twitter.com/wQWJeB7nfo
JULIUS MAYS UPDATE: Scored 23 pts and hit 7 three pointers (4th straight 20+ game) to boost average up to 17 ppg.
Former UK player (kinda): Alex Legion is averaging 19 pts and 9 rebounds in the same Italian league as Julius. He is 6th in scoring and rebounding in the league.
And Matt, you did a great job calling the Iowa State game last night with Miles Simon. Keep up the good work!
It’s going to get above freezing today! 36 for the high and 60 by Saturday. Bust out the shorts and flip flops.
What channel is game on tonight? Espn full court or any other way to watch it? NKY cat fan. Thanks
WAVE-3, WKYT, and WYMT. Get some powerful rabbit ears! Watch ESPN most likely too.
It’s on Star 64.
Bobby Petrino + Clint Hurt = Mark Stoops’s firing
I give Stoops two more bad seasons with losses to UL and we will have another coaching search.
Two more seasons with 8-9 4-star recruits and UK won’t be having bad seasons anymore.
Petrino isn’t Superman. He had a disappointing year at WKU this year.
You sure it isnt Petrino + Hurtt = UL on probation.
Pitino and Petrino. Wow! Lock up the women and children.
this dbag “Willie” has been posting that same line on every thread. Stop it, it’s ignorant.
Petrino + Hurtt = UL will scrape the bottom of anyones barrel for a cheap win. Slim coach’s that no one will take away from UL seems to be what Tom J. is after.
Maybe Pitino and Petrino can share a table at Porchini’s, OK, that made me sick…
I had a great point of view about a couple of years ago that Oscar Combo tweeted about last night. I am Bill Lamb and that’s my point of view.
Matt, you think that Shaka Smart will be the next coach at UK… What do you think about the possibilities of one of Cal’s assistants being our new head coach whenever Cal decides to leave? They are all good recruiters especially Antiqua from what I’ve heard. What do you think of the chances of one of them being our next head coach?
Matt-how about a little bit of play for “You’ve Got To Stand For Something” by Aaron Tippin?
The “face” of UL Football.
Face of UL period.
Pretty excited for this Petrino rant Matt is about to throw down
I keep hearing a cough before the show starts. Twice now.
Still looking for 2 tickets to the UK vs UT game on January 18th. Let me know if you have 2 for sale.
Post this request on aseaofblue.com. Fans there are more likely to help.
It’s ok to be scared UK fans. You know Booby is about to run up the score on you slapdicks.
They are all going to laugh at you!
Pretty big story on CNN about several big public universities (including UK) having illiterate athletes. UK had no comment while others released their records. Is this really that big of an issue?
I read it and didn’t see anything about UK. Link the article please. The one I read was on CNN.
It’s the same article. It displays about 30 school logos and you click on them to see what each school disclosed. Front page CNN.
http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2014/01/us/college-scores/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
I totally believe that Narduzzi or Morris is going to be hired. I do not think Petrino is going to get hired. I think Jurich has more pride than that.
Agree. I think this is just to appease those who may want him. Also to give BP a little respect to help him get another job going forward.
Why would they bring him in for an interview if they were not going to hire him? They know what they are getting.
I love how Louisville fans on one hand think they will go into the ACC and win National Championships but on the same hand think the Petrino is the only coach they can get that will win. Which way is it?
If they actually bring Petrino back UL might as well have Dennis Rodman head up the PR Dept, Barry Bonds on strength/conditioning & OJ Simpson as team chaplain/player development. #nosoUL
It’s amazing how people are more likely to give second chances when they have something to gain by it.
It’s so amazing in that people don’t believe in second chances when they know their rival is going to administer an [email protected] beating on you every year.
Western gave him his second chance. That was even too much. That guy should be helping out a high school team somewhere, not making millions bc some desperate school will sacrifice anything to get a W. I’m just glad UK wasn’t willing to Stoop that low. Little bro always trying to be a big boy, even if it means hanging with scum bags.
I have the feeling if Petrino came back to Louisville it would take a whole lot to get him to leave. I don’t think that Western was a destination job for Petrino but I think Louisville might be.
Louisville will NEVER be a destination job. They can never have the sustained success necesdsary to be a destination job.
If L1C4 hires Petrino they will have assembled the most corrupt and immoral tag team of football-basketball coaches in the country. Pitino and Petrino would be the sleaziest 1-2 puch in college athletics. #winning is all that matters!
Hold up Matt, last night you complained on Twitter that the announcer wouldn’t say balls on tv, but then you hesitate to do the same thing this morning? C’mon man!
To show UL desperation; Bobby has said he wants to bring in Randy Shannon who help get Miami on probation during the largest recruiting scandal in college football history in as assistant coach to keep the FL recruiting going & wants to keep Hurtt.
I think Petrino even wanting to leave Western after the chance they took on him speaks volumes of how his character has changed.
EXACTLY! How can UL fans say he may have changed and be a better person when he would be leaving WKU after 1 season? He’ll do the same thing to UL he did before, leave when the next Big 10 or Big 12 school comes calling.
We have a basketball game tonight and Matt is still talking about Louisville…unbelievable..who cares
Clearly Matt, Petrino got in a wreck with Kevin Ware going 90mph on their way home from looking for Chane Behanon’s ring.
Pay attention.
That’s gold right there.
Someone needs to photoshop that up…..now.
What in the world would it take for educated Louisville fans to say enough is enough?
What is the world would it take to find an educated Louisville fan?
Rocco Gaspacho……..Haha
If Jurich was smart, he would go after Mike Zimmer, but Jurich is blankety blank stupid and has a blank up his blank.
Louisville would bring back Casey Anthony to babysit, or George Zimmerman to run campus patrol. All about second chances….
We need to be more about just winning
I wish the Bengals would let Marvin step aside and hire Zimmer
When I think of Petrino and Louisville or the Falcons Or Arkansas I think of that Song “When You leave that way (you can never go back) by confederate railroad. How can they take him back especially after all of their comments. But its great entertainment.
As a Kentucky fan in Arkansas, my friends and coworkers cannot believe that Louisville is even considering hiring Petrino again. If he even sniffs air that blows through Arkansas I know people who cause bodily harm to him. It’s amazing that Louisville, coming off a 12 win season would be that desperate to bring him in. If Kentucky coming off a 2-10 season isn’t that desperate, then Louisville is now the most desperate college sports program in this history of college sports.
I’m impressed with the points that Matt made, that spill makes Petrino almost impossible to defend.
Matt is getting kinda preachy.
I can understand why most Louisville fans want him back. That stated, I don’t think Jurich will hire him as it would not be best for the school. There are more deserving candidates to be a leader of men.
I believe I would hold off on my rant until it actually became a fact to rant about. This guy was in fact in the discussion at UK and is now in the discussion at UL. That is all at this time.
Mitch Barnhart refused to interview Petrino at all. Petrino interviewed with Jurich for the UL job yesterday. Big difference
No body, but a desperate Western came calling for him. now a very desperate UL has come knocking on his door.
Liars 1st Corrupt 4ever. Petrino and Pitino would be the sleaziest scummiest coaching combo in the history of college bball/fball
Problem is that the UL media will not even ask Petrino about his past if he gets hired and would never ask Jurich about his decision. They will just lay down and beg for attention.
Our politicians (esp. your Prez Matt and his cabinet) lie to us everyday so let them hire him… oh, saw your tweet about Promise Zones and you must be proud… I thought Obabama made it a promise zone long ago when he promised to get rid of coal-powered electricity.
One thing is for sure, no matter who they hire, the local media will fall all over itself to praise the genius of the Turtled-One and hail it as the greatest hire in the history of sports.
Can’t we just let Louisville hire Petrino then petition the state to change their name to Scumbag Universal College of Kentucky?
I don’t think they hire him. But, I hope they do. I could use the boost in moral superiority.
That was supposed to say IN not OF
Actually 40 Petrino was never in the discussion at UK. Just with dumbass fans. The fact they UL is THE ONLY SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY that even showed interest in him shows how tarnished he is.
I just can’t believe Jurich wants to move his program backward. They have made strides without Petrino and he has to feel they can continue to do so without Petrino. I really don’t think he hires him.
I would expect nothing less, Louisville will officially have the sleaziest coaching staff in all of college athletics.
It would be like UK bringing back Eddie Sutton in the 90s.
So, pretty cool, if anyone wants to rewatch the entire louisville game you can.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIcdBNPtn_c
Where can I find Bobby Petrino’s Dad on LinkedIn? I need help begging for work.
Rupp arena’s picture is on the front page of cnn.com under a headline about college athletes not being able to read.
Raise your hand if you think Eric Bledsoe can read.
Not true. It’s a picture of UNC students with their stomachs painted. FAIL!
Does that mean Mark Stoops interviewed or was simply on a list of potentials?
How many coaches can 1 college have that has A. Cheated on his wife (SEVERAL TIMES).
This just in…. UofL has New Logo:
L1NM(Louisville 1st No Morals)
This time last year the majority of is wanted Petrino to coach uk, myself included. If he stomps us, MB needs to pack his bags.
Uh, troll…here we go again. No, most UK fans did not want Petrino. Some commentors on KSR did, but if you think that’s most UK fans, well nevermind, you’re a Tard so that makes sense.
Matt- any new additions to football recruiting that may move from Louisville after strong left?
UK only hires great citizens like Billy G
Did Billy G cheat on his wife and hire his mistress at a school he was coaching? No, he had a drinking problem. No comparison.
Cheating on your wife is immoral but not a crime. Driving drunk(which Billy G did before UK) is both.
Is Billy G still at UK? Reality. Smashing glass houses one at a time.
Bobby P. wrecked his motor cycle with a teen student on the back. Was he drunk, not sure, but he is a perv that can’t drive a fondle kids.
Women still voted for Bill Clinton. I’m sure you were fine with that. Was Clinton the first Prez you could vote for?
Thats a perfect situation for Stoops having his name mentioned in Penn St search b/c we know he was never going to get the job but it sounds good for recruiting and makes other people take notice when someone coming off a 2 win season is being looked at for one of the top 10 jobs in the country
MATT this reminds me of a girlfriend/boyfriend relationship. Louisville gets dumped…makes ridiculous comments about the ex (Petrino)….BUT then the ex doesn’t have as great a life as they expected and comes running back. Then the dumpee rationalizes taking the ex back because he or she has “changed”…..I’ve seen it a hundred times.
Stoops was considered because of his recruiting success at UK. If he can get these kind of kids to come to UK, imagine what he could get with Penn State behind the name.
I must admit, I don’t like the idea of Petrino having a year to prepare for us. Especially after Mitch would not even take his call.
You do know that the Louisville game is the last game of the season next year and not the first.
It would be more like Vols bringing back Pearl… which could happen.
Rick Ray was an assistant at Clemson
Petrino was 21-5 his last 2 seasons at Arkansas, all loses were to top 10 teams (he was 2-5 verse top 10 teams his final 2 seasons). I know if Stoops ever turns things around you arent going to take his first 2 seasons into consideration, so stop being hypocritical with Petrino.
And while I am calling you out the Petrino injuries are consistent with road rash, notice the lack of swelling and bruising? That is not from getting beat up that is from road rash.
Road rash? Really? it’s more of being dragged by a pissed off boy friend over rocks, grass and sidewalks….His face would’ve looked like a GIANT scab had it been road rash…..C’mon man, you can only defend this comedy of crap for so long……
But the girlfriend had not a scratch.
I couldn’t agree more about Petrino, it’s a win at all cost and damn you if you disagree with me attitude at uvel. Let them bring him back…..it’ll only be for a short while anyway…..He already has one coach that he doesn’t have to find (Hurtt)…. .if he comes back, I sincerely hope he invests in a 3 wheeler bike.
You could Rob Roy Cutler style.
Tony Vanetti said there were no discipline problems on Petrino’s teams. Get him in there to defend that comment.
I was a law student at Arkansas whenever the Petrino episode occurred. It was insane, frat boys riding around on scooters with blonde blow up dolls on the back and all. However, Louisville is not alone in being enamored with Bobby. There is still a section of the Arkansas fan base that believes that Bobby should have never been fired. I fully agree with Matt and would not want him to represent my university, but for some it’s “win baby win.” By the way, no one in Fayetteville believes the wreck occurred.
Boogie and the put back
My favorite MS St. memory is Stansbury’s wife.
Tell her about your fourth root. That will win her over. It does me.
Ryan is the best!
Ryan has tied George W with his repeating the “Shame” saying
fool me once shame on me, fool me twice, cant shoot the shooter.
Cut the charade, Matt. Just admit that you’re scared of Louisville hiring back Petrino because you know he’ll dominate UK in both recruiting and on the football field. Don’t play us all for fools.
I don’t believe for a second that having Petrino at UL means UL will dominate UK. Quit living in the past. You are what you are.
Ryan. Man… i feel sorry for the guy, i really do.
The idiot former president said “fool me once, shame on you, fool me, fool me, can’t get fooled again”
Matt – you are not doing a very good job holding true to your New Year’s Resolution of being nicer to poor, pitiful Ryan…
Bless his heart.
Ryans version would be “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, please stop fooling me!”
When can I get my “Can’t Spell Adultery Without UL t-shirt?”
you need to trademark this ASAP
Omg, if they hire BP I would buy this same day!
UL can have white out shirts made with stains on the back like a well used porchini’s table cloth.. LOL
Hey Matt… If I can change then Bobby Petrino can too.
Did Cutler come into the studio before you started the radio show and hold up a white card?
Dennis Rodman sounded like a WCW wrestler
Do you guys have a hoops game tonight? There sure is a lot of talk about a school that does not exist.
A Louisville fan told me “we can just have Pitino coach football. I bet Cal can’t do that.”
wow….
Would it be bad if people started tweeting that Rodman is actually a US spy gathering info on North Korea?
I think Rodman was trying out for WWE Raw.
WHAT IF PETRINO DOESN’T WIN?
How will they feel about him then?
The looks on the guys faces behind Rodman during that interview was pure fear. I don’t think they expected to make it out of North Korea alive after that interview. It looked like Rodman had done cocaine before going on air.
Road Rash……Torn skin abrasions, thus causing scabs…..
Boy friend Rash……Picture above. The only scab “IS” in the picture.
I hear Petrino plans to bring in Michael Vick as the Quarterbacks Coach…
Matt Jones,
Why, during your radio program would you defer to a member of your staff (Brian, for example) in response to a callers inquiry just to cut him off again and again? This is what you do. Have you ever listened to your own show? I would suggest to you that you do. I’m not talking about your ‘schtick” where Brian plays the fall guy.
In the movie” Magic” 1978, you put me in mind of the ventriloquist.
Solution: life is long, slow down.
The thing is Louisville knows that he is a dirtbag but they just don’t care. Stop trying to justify it. They just look stupid. HA!
Did UK even interview Petrino last year? I don’t recall that ever being confirmed, so just the fact Louisville interviewed him (and what was that interview like?!?!) is pretty pathetic.
Strickland didn’t lie to the NCAA.
25% would be my guess. Loud minority for Bobby at UK
Brian came on acting all friendly and sugarcoating and acting like he wasn’t going to argue… then goes right to arguing
The key difference between UK and UL in this case is that Kentucky was DESPERATE to win last year. Louisville isn’t. It just does not make sense that they would compromise when they have moved that stage of their development as a program. They’re a better job than they were the first time Petrino came around. It’s just inconceivable that they would still have this mentality.
Last time Gottlieb was on the show, he said that if the spread was 22 or 23, take UK. Miss. St. is that bad.
Hey Ryan don’t try and steel my gimmick!!!
Matt, DON’T FORGET Petrino put his mistress on the PAYROLL!
Bingo. This is what got him fired.
Yeah, whereas Pitino just made a guy on the payroll marry his!
Rodman surely chugged a fifth of vodka before that interview. Dude is a f____ up.
So IF Stoops was a finalist elsewhere, does that mean he is already pursuing other jobs? Surely not.

Get Jay from Lyndon or Kelly to do the press conference.
The Louisville fanbase is the type that would marry a stripper and justify it by saying she works hard.
How about Tomlin, turkey Hunter, Bucky Smallholves or Johny Versachi?
Even if Petrino is successful for a while at Louisville, once he leaves – and he WILL leave – Louisville will be HURTING!! They were in BAD shape when he left the first time, Arkansas was in bad shape when he left, everyone he’s left was worse off.
Did JR say crabs?
Everybody in Olive Hill sells marijuana, from what I can recall. Smokey Valley Burger and marijuana. Those are the things to do in Olive Hill.

Did JR say, “While watching Randle get those crabs?”
We will be able to compete and beat Louisville next season. Our guys made some real strides this year. Think about it: We had Mississippi St. on the ropes and they went and played great in their bowl game. We also played Vanderbilt really close on the road and they won big in their bowl game. We didn’t play good vs. Tennessee in the finale, but that was kind of expected as it is hard for a beaten down team to get up for the last game of the season. I saw tremendous improvement from this team this year and we were only a decent quarterback away from getting wins at Miss. St. and Vandy. I firmly believe this team makes a bowl game next year. I believe in Stoops THAT MUCH.
Matt,
Don’t surrender the game vs Louisville next year. Stoops recruits will have 1 & 2 seasons behind them because it is played at the end of the season. We can steal that game.
Speaking of the volleyball team, check out the coach…. http://www.gocards.com/sports/w-volley/lou-w-volley-body.html
Sportsnation’s poll shows 56% people think it’s a good move to bring back Petrino.
I also GUARANTEE that Barker is the starter as soon as the first game kicks off. If Stoops knows football like I believe he does, he had to be wanting to pull his hair (or what’s left of it) out of his head watching Max and Jalen struggle. Those two are just flat-out not good enough to be starters in the SEC. Barker may struggle a bit early, but Stoops is going to ride or die with him.
College football success depends greatly on who your quarterback is. Who is Louisville’s quarterback going to be? No Bridgewater means some real struggles for them next season.
It’s pretty dumb for most coaches to take the Louisville job right now. It’d be really hard to satisfy expectations.
This sums up Petino from Seneca football coach.
Louis Dover, who coaches at Seneca High School in Louisville, perhaps best summed up the feelings many people in football have about Petrino. “As a coach, he’s a genius, he’s one of the elite minds,” Dover said. “Personally, well, he’s a good coach.”

AUSTIN, Texas (AP)
A billionaire donor to the University of Texas says the hire of new football coach Charlie Strong was like a ”kick in the face.”
Red McCombs has donated millions to Texas, and his name is on the north side of the football stadium. He publicly lobbied for Texas to hire Jon Gruden.
Hours after Strong was introduced Monday, McCombs complained to KZDC-AM in San Antonio that he was ignored in the coaching search.
McCombs said Texas got the selection ”wrong” and that Strong would be a good position coach or coordinator. He later said he would support Strong and wished him well when they spoke by phone Sunday night.
…and so it starts. Sorry Charlie.
Best picture ever
At least Dakich is punching up when he goes after Cal. Way up.
Matt, you pick up a lot of trivia while MCing Booty Shaking contests. It explains Shannon’s impressive knowledge.
so many negative hypotheticals about Cal
will say it again… he made it a promise zone when he promised to get rid of coal-powered plants.
You obviously know nothing about eastern ky if you think Obama had anything to do with the poverty of the area.
I really thought the large Catholic population would have ran Pitino out of town for supplying “Health Insurance”
whats up the walk on’s podcast? Is it Mark’s fault?
Great, more government money wasted to entice jobs to Eastern Kentucky. It is just easier for any skilled workers to leave the area and when they are all gone and we can blow it up.
Need to get people like me out of office then.
The facility manager at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium, K.C. Scull teaches a class I take at U of L and he said there is a press conference scheduled tomorrow at the stadium.
Yes!!! Please send J Rock…what did you drop?
Current Bengals DC Mike Zimmer on Petrino in Atlanta:
Mike Zimmer on Bobby Petrino: “He’s a gutless bastard”
Posted by NBC Sports on October 20, 2010, 4:03 PM EST
Let’s just say Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer doesn’t look back fondly on his days coaching under Bobby Petrino in Atlanta.
“He’s a gutless bastard. Quote that. I
don’t give a s–,” Zimmer said Wednesday, according to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
When Zimmer was told that responsible news organization may not be able to use “bastard,” Zimmer responded:
“How about this, gutless MF. You can use that.” (Awesome. Much appreciated.)
Petrino famously didn’t tell any of his assistants that he was leaving Atlanta for the head coaching job at Arkansas. On Sunday, Zimmer’s Bengals face a Falcons team that has been almost completely remade since 2007, especially on defense.
Meanwhile, the “gutless bastard” has Arkansas back in the top 25 in college football.
“Woo Pig Sooie!“
UPDATE: More from Zimmer, via Reedy: “[Petrino] is a coward. Put that in quotes. He ruined a bunch of people’s
lives, a bunch of people’s families, kids, because he didn’t have enough
nuts to stay there and finish the job. That’s the truth.”
Send Alan Cutler to the press conference.
oh man, I wish isn’t wasn’t dropped – I wish I knew what was said
lol
I didn’t hear it. That sucks.
It got dropped…I’m on Iheart
Whatever he said needs to be on podcast
I second the Johnny Versace press conference suggestion above. He thinks fast and words things well.
Send Tucker Max to the presser.
Why don’t you go Matt? I’m sure you’re not scared, are ya? You have media credentials.
He would be kicked out before he could ask a question.
You can kind of tell that it’s catching up because there is a slight choppy sound
So in other words, after you JRock gets dropped, he can cuss again in a few more seconds and he can’t be dropped again?
If I were Western I would fire him. They were the only school to give him a shot. He has not changed
It sounds choppy. I can tell it, but I hear everything. Noise whistle, etc.
beat the brakes off- means to plow a girl really hard or to beat the Shat out of someone- j rock is using it correctly.
We need an uncensored feed. I’d actually PAY for that!
So, in conclusion, if your call gets picked up right after a drop, you get to say anything you want!
There is something about the adjustment in the signal that makes it sound like a nose whistle.
The nose whistle sounds like a civil defense siren after the drop button is hit.

The same thing will hold true once they move to the ACC.
I just noticed that Jody Demling blocked me from Twitter. HA! The Louisville fan base is so thin skinned.

Happy Birthday Elvis
I think people are giving ACC football too much credit. I know FSU won the title but they beat opponents an average of 42pts including conference play. They were a 29.5 favorite in the conference championship game and won by 37. Those type numbers don’t indicate a football power conference.
Give me a press pass and ill bring the fire to the mic like they have never seen in card nation [email protected] Louisville has never had anything close to pride
Didn’t she say she didn’t like confrontation?
Doesn’t like it, specifically on Facebook.
I hope you are reading this craziness that Dan Dakich is spewing all over Twitter right now. Ugggh!!! That guy!
you need rocco Matt
We need a Phyllis from Finebaum’s show.
Bad idea. She’s too nice.
No! Don’t do that to Linda.
I feel like there are some “tougher” female callers from KSR that would hold up better in that enviroment
No on Linda. I’m not sure she could articulate her point in the form of a good question when on the hot seat.
Go Linda!!!
Least favorite UK basketball player= Rashaad Carruth.
I THINK IT’S A BRILLIANT IDEA 🙂
Bad idea to send Linda. She raises great points but I don’t think she’ll deliver the question with the authority with which it needs to be said.
Send Linda…….slapnuts is full of it
Two points to letting her do it:
1.) Makes it easier on you guys since you have to work with these people after the fact
2.) BUT would they take her serious because no one knows who she is? Just another obsessed fan?
For the KSR Crew’s sake, I give her a greenlight, no harm done on you guys.
Send her. They wont pick her for the question though. Too many UL people listen to the broadcast and will know shes coming
I think you are right, Matt shouldn’t announce who he’s sending ahead of time.
I think Linda should stand up at the press conference and recite the speech Kevin Bacon gave to the city council in Footloose.
No offense to Linda but we need someone they will take seriously. Jurich would joke about the question and move on. Need someone younger and likes being snarky so we can make Tommy Turtleneck start sweating a little bit
UofL needs to review their standards. Even the Louisville Chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club rejected Petrino’s application for Morality Reasons.
Hell yes have her go!!!! just as long as she can ask the question with confidence!!!!! Definitely yes!!!!!
Send Linda. She would stand out as a woman, and I think it’s appropriate for a female to ask this tough question.
Petrino was doing great at Arkansas. He’s a terrible person, but let’s not pretend like the guy isn’t a great coach.
He was 17-15 vs. the SEC. That’s not great.
Sorry Linda my vote is to send Rose!
Rose does seem like a better fit
I don’t think sending Linda is a good idea. I think you want to send someone who has done it before.
I’d say send me, I can show my sexy legs.
YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH. Have Linda repeat that loudly several times and make a screwed up Nicholson face.
How about Gregg Doyel?
Send John Short. He can sugar coat Jurich and Petrino with his “great Americans” line before going in for the kill.
Linda would make Deadspin. For sure.
Please don’t do this to Linda.
Send Slash Slash
Perfect having a woman ask the question directly..will have all eyes and ears on them
I wonder if Lincoln thought I better not pick that Grant guy because he drinks too much?
I say send the truth or David that only gets a once a week call. Send one of them with linda
The UofL media is clearly a bunch of nerds that rarely get to interact with women, Linda better avoid a crowd that sexually frustrated.
Have Linda walk in yelling I came in like a wrecking ball!
Send Linda, She can ask the question we want answered.
I could see rocko owning Jurich Matt
Whoever you send their name for the day better be “Jessica”.
I second this notion
This press conference will be planned and controlled. Turtleneck will have someone planted to ask the “morality” question and the wording will already be worked out ahead of time to minimize the possibility of a damaging answer. They will clean this up and spin it with no worries.
I say send her…she sounds like she has a soap box big enough to stand on!!!
Why not Joann?!
Red State BBQ commercial for the 3rd time today! So annoying.
I love the toasting of the bun.
IT ADDS SO MUCH TO THAT TYPE OF BREAD.
I’ve got it. Let’s locate the certain disgraced former UofL female cheerleader and send her. The full circle irony would be great.
Thanks to KSR for getting me through working out in the bitter cold. Always Enjoy. Question. Does Matt talk over the people that leave him a Voicemail?
The cardinal connect is already taking up for Petrino saying his departure isn’t as bad as it was made out to be…….go figure
J rock
And this is why I like Gregg Doyle.
linda is a soft choice
If Behanan gets the boot for not beating Kentucky, what happens to Petrino if he loses to the Cats? Would the linebeards still love him?
Doyel is dead on about Western and Petrino
I’m more of a changed man than Bobby Petrino is.
awkward. bad radio. please stop.
I want him to go to UofL for a completely different reason. He’ll go and bail on them again and it will be the best joke we’ll have on UofL since Sypher. Standing alone at the alter for a SECOND time would be hilarious to watch.
Send Doyle
I love it when Doyel calls Matt out for not telling the truth.
Doyel’s giving you the opinion most national media will have. If Louisville hires Petrino, most people will just say ok, maybe give a little chuckle and move on. Louisville isn’t relevant enough nationally to garner much attention for this hire.
Gregg Doyel is a unique snowflake.
Nate Willis was on his game yesterday
Jacob is the new Michael from Dallas
Jacob’s off school AKA sounds like Jacob decided to cut school today (kidding)
Matt, why do you think you can’t go? UL isn’t going to have armed guards at the door stopping you. If they did, that would be an even BIGGER story.
Send Jacob to press conference.
Send Jacob to the press conference! He’ll ask the tough question then tell Tommy Turtleneck to shove it and punch him in the face!
I chose NOT to go to Hudson Toyota. Hudson Nissan is way closer to my house and I got a lifetime warranty.
I want to see a Drew Franklin Photoshop Mount Rushmore of Neck Brace Bobby, Clint Hurtt, bug eyed Rick and the Turtleneck
That would be comedy gold. Wish I had the spare time to crank it out – I’m pretty fair at PS myself.
I second
Why does Louisville show Big 12 conference but not SEC?
Rupp #4… Athlon surveyed a group of media experts on the best college hoops arenas. Turns out I was right about Allen: http://athlonsports.com/college-basketball/top-arenas-college-basketball-experts-poll#

Kentucky fans should be honored by Athlon list, because they made top 10 with least remarkable building. So it’s them and game presentation.

Wow 2 surprise KSR favorites today, nice work Matt. I love Doyel and Bo
Wendell made a GREAT point regarding Tom Jurich.
I didn’t even know who the president of UL was until the day before the UK/UL basketball game.
Oh there you Matt, get Bomani who you know will side with you on everything. Pitiful Matt, just pitiful.
Louisville spin would say Rick Pitino is a fine man who refuses to have a child out of wedlock and Bobby Petrino tried to give a young woman a helping hand entering the work force.
how quick people forget that Cal has been to 4, scratch that, 2 final fours… because… 2 were vacated, and suddenly Pitino is more corrupt because he had a personal mishap.
How quickly people forget Pitino saving UKs program after eddie sutton, how quickly people forget that he won a championship, followed by a runner-up, followed by a championship for UK. Lets be honest, Tubby is a great bench coach but that was pitino’s team and recruits who had just been to two consecutive championship games.
And you’re going to dog ul for possibly going after bobby p after yall wanted the same thing last year. No question he’s a tool of a person but that doesnt show on scoreboards, players love him. And dont be mad that he has beaten and undefeated against UK at 3 different schools (one being the a newer D-1 team named Western Ky.)
Sitting here litening to the show that follows KSR on 1080 and it’s just sad. The co host (whoever he is) told the host that he is giddy and can’t sleep at night at the thought of Petrino coming back to Louisville. Wow!!! The fans are even worse. Gotta love the hypocards!!

Actually not. Lincoln said find out what brand Grant was drinking and give it to the rest of his generals.
I think Louisville has found their brand – again.
word is that they are in negotiations with Petrino and his party is not liking the buyout numbers being thrown out there in the 15-20 million dollar range. Tells you right there he is not staying at UL in the long run…….its just another stepping stone.
All I have to say is this: UofL — Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me !
Timeline of the Petrino era at UofL:
2003 — interviewed for Auburn job; Jurich did not know, 1st denied it and then later admitted he did
Early 2004 — interviewed for LSU job; 5 days after signing extension with UofL and pronouncing his loyalty
Later in 2004 — interviewed for Notre Dame and Mississippi jobs
2006 — signed new deal with UofL and afterwards left for Atlanta Falcons
UofL leadership are MORONS!
